If it had a manual trans you could always crank it with a push start....

(Ban automatic transmissions)

Its interesting you say that. Because I was thinking what would have caused it to start after being on the two truck. Well, all four wheels “moved” while being loaded up. So, if I can get the vehicle’s problem to surface again, I want to put it in neutral and push it five or six feet and see if it starts. If it does, at least I know I am dealing with some sensor with the transmission/drive train.

/and yeah, this is my first and last automatic ever. I miss stick.

I watched a 1950s Tony Curtis movie last night where he tried to start a mid-1930s make of a convertible. The battery was dead, so he took out a crank handle, stuck
it in just below the front grill, and cranked the engine by hand until it caught. I had to idea cars made that late could be hand cranked.
